Description: You will be facing the illusory world, making up of endless stars, by putting up your VR glasses, and your mission is to turn pieces of the puzzles into the masterpieces of Van Gogh. VR technology enables very single piece of the puzzle to be presented as vivid object that you feel you were about to touch, and you will certainly be immersed in the artistic spirit within the whole picture. Keep your brain working, and conquer the puzzles.
Review: Starry is the first puzzle pieces puzzle solving game to hit virtual reality. But this is board style puzzle solving like you have never seen it before. The pieces of the puzzle are located all around you and it is a game itself just trying to find them all! Then, once you have found them you then have to work out where in the puzzle it goes. With a simple grab and drop start system (tapping the touch panel to rotate the pieces) you quickly get used to it.
This app is yet another great example of why virtual reality is so amazing. Solving a boring old puzzle is a thing of the past, but place that same thing inside VR and suddenly it’s a whole new thing, a whole new game! It’s not the most brain taxing of apps, nor is it amazing to look at, but you should still download it just to discover how much fun solving a puzzle in VR really is.
